Another - complained that his neighbors had been talking against him A thIrd accused a colleague of cheating on a deal to share their wages. A fourth complaIned that after cutting down a tree in the forest, . he had told a woman she could take part , of it, but, because she had a small Infant to carry, she had brought along two friends, and among them they had car- ried off more than he had expected, so . he asked for a few francs damages. _ Some of these complaints brought laugh- ter from the crowd; to them, the Doc- tor observed, the tribunal was rather like an afternoon at the movies. The cases I have mentioned so far all Involved overt acts, real or supposed, but two others involved magic. One con- sisted merely of an assertion that the plaintiff was a victim of the evil eye. The other concerned the theft of a lock . of hair from a woman as she slept, . an d its alleged later USe in casting a . spelJ on her After missing the hair, it seemed that the woman had developed - . leprous sores on her feet and had gen- _ erally felt sick. She was not, however, . the plaintiff in the case, the Doctor ex- _ plained; another party, a man, was ac- · ..................... cusing her of having spread word that he had taken the hair with intent to cast an evil spell. The arguments were long and were seriously delivered, and in the end the woman cleared herself by establishing, through witnesses, that she had consulted an oracle and had been told that a mouse had stolen the hair, so she could not have blamed the plaintiff. "Cases involving magic come up all the time," the Doctor told me when this one wa over. "It is inevitable. The people believe in magic, and so it enters into all their relations, includIng legal ones. The subject goes far beyond our rules of evidence, of course, and it is hard to settle such cases by a mere tri- bunal of human beings. The natives have traditiona] means of divination that often work better, because the peo- ple believe in them. I can tell you about some of them when I show you a few of the divining devices that I've collected in my laboratory." T HE session broke up soon after the hair-stealing case. The next morning, I was due to leave Pawa, but before I did, I went to see the Doctor in his laboratory. He led me around, and to my eye the place seemed well equipped, with its boilers for sterilizing instruments, microscopes for examinIng API\I L I 8, I 9 5 9 "II!/l;'$ .. . . . :.. ...:: GREAT: \ r carefree r )0\.. enterprise.
